Haven't tried Kawa, and my only other Lisp experience is Emacs Lisp. That said, I think Clojure as a Lisp differentiate itself from other Lisps in that all its data-structures are built on abstractions. They default to be immutable in a performant and low memory profile way. Its got great added concurrency constructs like STM, CSP, Atom, Futures, Promises, Delays, etc. Its syntax includes very convenient default data-literals that has contributed to it having a culture of data-driven logic. EDN is great for serialization of code and data. It has powerful support for lazy evaluation, as well as strict. Finally, its interop with Java is excellent.
So, I don't know much about scheme and Kawa, but I suspect you'd have to build a lot to get all this back. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
